May 28.—The Treasury net balance for M v 25 was $84,290,431.50. Customs receipts this month to May 25 ■were $34,857,406.02. In the Stock Market (By Thomson <fe McKinnon) NEW YORK, May 28.—1 tis very likely that traders will be forced to attach more attention to the credit situation this v.ek than has been the practice heretofore, for the advance of the discount rates by two additional reserve banks is evidence that the board has no intention whatsoever of reducing pressure on this important factor. Today the usual Monday member bank adjustments take place, while on Saturday anew set cT broker loans will be available and, from appearances, it would seem that the Reduction of last week may be more than wiped out. If this comes to pass, then the market is back in the same condition which preceded the break some days ago. The only bullish factor which we can see is that there will be a considerable Bum of money available on June I through distribution of .interest. f,nd dividends, and if employed for (stock market purposes, will have a favorable effect.

Write a ‘Ramona ’ Verse at Once

How are those choruses to “Ramona” coming along? By this time you should have written at least one. Remember that The Indianapolis Times and Loew’s Palace Theater are trying to find an original chorus to the love song theme of the picture Ramona that is better than the original. There are prizes for the best of these, and distinction too. Emil Seidel at the Palace is playing the song in his overture this week and Dusty Rhoades is singing the words that were written in the first place. There are just a few things to remember in the way of rules to enter

WEATHER NEWS BEARISH; WHEAT DECKS IN PIT Slight Rainfall Sends Major Grain Down: Corn, Oats Lose. Bii United Press CHICAGO, May 28.—A bearish construction of lack of rain over the American ft'heat belt, and only scattered rains and some hail in Canada sent wheat futures lower at the opening on the Board of Trade today. Corn was nervous and inclined to follow wheat while oats lost fractionally. . At the opening wheat was down %' to Its cents; corn ranged from !t cent higher to \ - cent lower, and oats were unchanged to % cent down. Provisions opened lower. There was no material change in weather conditions over the American Northwest wheat belt over the week-end. Temperatures were moderate, but there was no rain. The Canadian Northwest received scattered showers and some hail. Temperatures are normal. Liverpool is closed. There is little change in the corn situation. The old stocks are diminishing rapidly while the new crop is in the ground two weeks ahead of time and is off to a flying start. The market will probably be influenced by the cash market. The situation in oats resembles that in corn. Old stocks arc dwindling, and the new crop is receiving favorable growing weather. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— MaV 28 ~ Prev. High. Low, 12:00. close.

It was here that Abraham Lincoln, in 1856, delivered the famous “Lost Speech” which so entranced reporters _with its eloquence that they forgot to take notes and thereby failed to save it for posterity.

Among those present were Governor Adam McMullen of Nebraska and former Governor Joseph W. Fifer of Illinois.

JANNINGS KNOWS HARD BOILED EGGS BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. EMIL JANNINGS knows how to break hard-boiled eggs and his method is anew one. He needs no fancy egg holder for his hardboiled eggs. Jannings breaks ’em by knocking ’em against his forehead. You will become acquainted with the Jannings way of breaking hard-boiled hen fruit in “The Street of Sin ” Os course, you will want to know at once if Jannings’ latest is as great as some of his other ones. This picture is melodramatic crook theater. Jannings is cast as a bad London slum tough. He treats his woman rough and his men in the same fashion. He is a bad London egg. One day a Salvation Army girl comes into the district and she teaches him the meaning of God and salvation as well as service.

In the end, Bill, the y character played by Jannings, gives his life in the service of cleaning up the slums. 6ne must get in touch with the melodramatic tempo of “The Street of Sin” and you will enjoy much more if you will get in at the start of the picture because one’s

interest is centered upon the way that Jannings developes the character of Bill as he gets “religion.” It is interesting to see h o w Jannings will capture one’s sympathy by a char acterization that really doesn’t deserve, it but Jannings as usual suggests tjie soul struggle of his character. He gets

Emil Jannings

down under the skin of every character that he plays. That is one quality of the greatness of this actor. Bill is mighty rough on his “woman,” but when he does treat her badly, he is the first one to open the door on her return. The director has been wise in giving Jannings as much latitude as possible, because when it is all said and done people are interested, in Jannings. I do not consider the “The Street of Sin” a great story, but I do know that Jannings does some great acting in this one. Here is a story of a man in London slums fighting to save his soul. And he gives his life in the struggle. There are several others in the cast who do realistic work. Charlie Davis again lets his orchestra come through with a number of tantalizing melodies that stop the show. And when I was present, the orchestra and one of the singers with Davis tied the show up cold. Davis knows how to pick the numbe- that people want to hear. Joe Jackson with his funny trousers and his trick bicycle are all present in this revue. Jackson is unique in his comedy. Many have tried to imitate him, but he is so much the artist that nobody can approach him. Here is a tramp comedian who is so much the artist that he is a classic. It is pleasant -to record that he does fit in very well in the modern presentation idea. The revue has the services of several good singers and dancers. The finale is as beautiful as it is melodious. Stuart Barrie is at the pipe organ. Now at the Indiana. a a tt BILLIE DOVE IS NOW A REAL STAR The past year has made many, many changes in stars and leading playfers on the screen. Bui I thirk that I can safely state that 3i lie Dove really became a star in the past year and she is one star that will not fade out in a year’s time. She lives up to her position of.be-

•The Yellow Lily.” Here is a story about a kingdom that is ruled by an elderly archduke and he has a mighty rapid son. The son is played by Clive Brook. The story is really a theatrical “study" of the humanizing o f royalty or one member of the gang. Such stories at times fail in this country to strike a sympa-

ing a star in ‘ I V). * ' A.

Billie Dove

thetic understanding but the work of Dove and Brook creates that understanding. At first you will detest the character played by Brook He is heartless and works on the theory that women are his toys. But he finds there is one woman who refuses to be a toy. So she teaches the archduke a lesson with a revolver and after she shoots him, of course she falls head over heels in love with him. That’s the way it seems to work out in the movies. The ending is logical and you must give the director credit for it. He leaves you with a story ending that the movie audience must solve. And it seems to me that , Many of the sets are large. In fact, some of them are beauties, especially the reception at the hunting palace. You may forget everything about the picture but I think that you will remember with rase the work of Miss Dove and Brook in “The Yellow Lily.” Os course, you are interested in the stage show this week at the Circle. Dick Powell is getting along very nicely. This man is popular and he is developing his own way in handling the job of master of ceremonies. He is singing “Mary Ann” this week and -when I was present, there was no doubt that the audience .loved both the song and the singer. Who ever staged this number did a good job in bringing on the girls. Well handled. There are three colored men in this revue who do some mighty warm hoofing. These men know how to dance and they know how to sell it. Crandall and Markey have an eccentric classical burlesque dance which is good for many laughs. These two girls are clever. There are numerous others in the cast. Dessa Byrd is at the pipe organ and Ed Resener is conducting the orchestra dunmg the overture. Now at-the Circle. LOOKING OVER THE OHIO MOVIES A man must have a streak of good in him somewhere if he is a prison and has a chance to escape and don’t take it. More so if he keeps the rest from getting away. That is what William Zachary

Harrison did in “Brass Knuckles.” And after he w r as paroled on account of it, he adopted the daughter of a prisoner who didn’t like him, but knew he was good. Monte Blue is William Zachary Harrison and called Zac. Zas was still looked up by the police after he was out. They keep an eye on him to see that he didn’t do the wrong thing. Zac’s pal, Velvet, also got out at the same time, but Velvet wasn’t quite as honest. Lamont was the fly in the ointment, although Zac didn’t take any stock in his statements at the time. Lamont was still in prison when Zac was out. June Curry was the daughter of a man in the prison, “Fade Away” Curry, who hadn’t seen his daughter in years, but he wanted Zac to look her up. June was in an orphan asylum when Zac went to see her. And he invited her to see him some time. So when the gang was going out to do some robbing June came to see Zac and he couldn’t go. But Velvet did and got into trouble, but Zac cleared him. And they both got real work and were honest. Zac thought June a little girl and Velvet thought different and took her to a cabaret and Zac took her home. It is here that Lamont tries to get Zac into trouble. He makes the police see that Zac is violating his parole and he adopts the girl, under the guise of being her father. But William Zacary Harrison knows better and June learns that he loves her. Monte Blue has *he role of Zac and does some good work with it. He has builded a real man of William Zachary Harrison. June Curry is played by Betty Bronson. She makes a splendid little girl and a very pretty young woman The part is not heavy but calls for some consistent acting, and she gives it. Fair melodrama. The other picture is a comedy with Lew Cody cast as Anthony Dare, a writer of “hot” love stories who finds out that writing and living the scenes is not the same. His wife cures him of that. Aileen Pringle is cast as Kitty Dare. “Weakness Preferred” is the name of this comedy. Fair stuff. Comedies and news reel complete ♦he program. At the Ohio. (By the observer.) tt tt tt GOOD LOVE ROMANCE HERE The path of love seems to be a cruel one. Always someone gets hurt. Sometimes the man, sometimes the woman, and often enough a person who is neither of the two parties. How r bitter and yet how sweet a love can be is shown in “Ramona,” the story of a half-breed girl’s love for two men. One an Indian and the other her brother by adoption. Senora Moreno was the very stern mistress of her rancho and her

family, which was a proujj one. Ramona was the adopted daughter that loved Don Felipe, the senora’s son, as a brother. But the senora and Ramona wasted little love or affection upon each other. At sheep shearing time came A 1 es s andro, the captain of the sheerers, a full blooded Indian.

■ V MMwmß jl^ Dolores Dell Rio

He thought Ramona very lovely and she thought of him. They were to elope when the senora found out about the plans and stoped it, she thought, by locking the door. But Felipe helped them. Ramona and her husband were very happy and in the course of time there came little Ramona. She grew ill and the doctor refused to come to them. The daughter died and as Alessandro was about to bury her a band of cutthroats massacred the whole village. Ramona and her husband escaped, but later Alessandro was killed and Ramona lost her memory. It is at this point of the story that the picture takes on a deeper interest. Up to this point it has been a very pretty love story, running a smooth course. Felipe has been the one hurt. After his mother’s death he has roamed over the countryside trying to find Ra-

mona. Finally he does, in • small hut, where she is taken care of by Indians. Felipe takes her back to his rancho and tries to restore her memory. Here is the finest bit of acting I have seen Dolores Del Rio do. Under Felipe’s care she finally remembers things that happened before she left. She is back to the place where she started, before running away with Alessandro. Dolores Del Rio, at this final part, is at her finest in the picture. She does a really great part. Roland Drew is Don Felipe, the brother by adoption. He is quite good in this part, making his character one of deep sentiment. Warner Baxter is the Indian, Alessandro. He is quite consistent in his part, but does not rise to any heights. Vera Lewis is the senora. She is a very stern old woman. A good love story. On the stage is Frank Corbitt, who sings several numbers and among them Victor Herbert’s “Mysteries of Life.” He has a good voice. Helen Swan also sings some songs, but they are of the popular variety. In her last song she gets the orchestra to join in now and then. Kendall Copps is an eccentric and acrobatic dancer. He is good at this. He also played a number on the saxophone. Sunshine Sammy, late of the “Our Gang” comedies, and his brother are in the stage show. These two were in the city some time ago. They do some good tap dancing. Sammy has some freak dances that he calls “the jellyrole,” “the messaround” and the “woodpecker.” The overture is called Ramona and the piece is brought into the number. Dusty Rhoads sings the song on stage. The organ solo, is “A Miniature Concert” in which Lester Huff plays a number of famous compositions. At Loew’s Palace. (By the Observer.) tt tt a “FORTUNE HUNTER” ON VIEW AT APOLLO The same old things can be done in a variety of ways and still get a laugh. Syd Chaplin demonstrates this in one of his latest, “The Fortune Hunter.” The story is of a man who was going to make getting married a business proposition, and marry the richest girl he could find,

in a town full of wealthy girls. The story ends by him marrying one of the poorest, financially. Nab Duncan was a bouncer in a case in New York. It was one of those fly-by-night sort of places, where the waiters were all “pugs” and the customers danced in a ropedolf ring. It was here that Nat met

He ’ has those essentials of comedy that I made him famoi s in “Charlie’s j Aunt,” and otheis. Helene Costello has the part of Jesse Lockwood, the village vamp, and daughter of the richest man in town. She does some good work. Clara Horton is Betty. She makes a demure sort of miss and is enticing after she returns from school. Banker Lockwood is played by a man named Anderson. Sam Graham is taken by Thomas Jefferson and the two villains are played by Paul Kruger, the man in love with Jesse, and the other by Duke Martin. Martin is Kellog. There are several other comedy characters in the picture. Vitanhone selections that show Muss’'lini making a speech in Italian and the army coast defense aro among the short subjects. At the Apollo.
